top pick wonanother tip wonno tip won
Improving mare who ran a strong second at this track last start, beaten under a length after settling handy. Drawn perfectly in four to take up a forward spot, which suits this sharp Kalgoorlie 1200m. Right local stable and a jockey who rides the circuit well. Still a maiden but clearly on an upward curve in only her fourth start, and she gets her chance to break through.
He has run to a winning standard at his best and the sharp trip suits, but he has had 11 starts for just one placing and has been well beaten lately. Drawn wide in eight, which is a genuine test for a leader at Kalgoorlie, and he races keenly.
Honest, consistent maiden who is seldom far away and has been placed at this circuit. Closed well for a good third last start and has run to a competitive standard on his day. Strong local stable and a jockey who knows the track. Yet to win in 14 starts and his record over this trip is modest, so he shapes more as a place hope than the obvious winner.
Can settle handy and be in the finish.

Ran the strongest race of anyone in this line-up when closing for second over 1400m here a fortnight ago, and now steps to the trip that suits this staying type. Has enough dash to sit handy from barrier five, exactly where you want to be at Kalgoorlie. Still a maiden and the jockey is without a winner at the track, but he brings the most upside and the right map.
Rarely far away and has the right course-and-distance profile with two placings from three tries at 1617m here. Settles handy from barrier two and should get every chance with a moderate tempo. The knock is 25 starts without a win and a stable yet to salute at this track, so he profiles as the safe placing type rather than the likely winner.
Freshened since a plain effort over further. The concern is that he gets back, and Kalgoorlie strongly favours those on the speed; from barrier seven he may give away too much ground to the leaders.
The overlay of the race. He has led and been placed twice over this exact course and distance, and with the rail out and a moderate tempo expected he can dictate from barrier one.

Broke through for his maiden win last start and looks the one on the up. Drawn ideally in gate two, he can settle handy in a race where the Kalgoorlie data clearly favours runners on the speed, and Lucy Fiore has a strong record here.
The class runner of the field and a genuine Kalgoorlie specialist with two wins and four seconds from nine starts here. She was second in a stronger grade last time out, so back at Class 2 she is the one they have to beat. The concern is her get-back style on a track that heavily rewards forward positions, and she has never won on a good surface.
Improving type who has been close up in each of his recent Class 2 and Class 1 outings at this track, and he will race handy, which suits a Kalgoorlie circuit where on-pace runners win well above their share. He has won at this trip and is fit.
The likely leader and therefore the horse the pace map hands an uncontested time in front, which is exactly the profile the track data favours at this trip.

Clearly the class runner. She has been mixing it in stronger metro company, placing at Belmont and winning at Ascot, and a hot tempo from three speedy leaders should set the race up for her late surge. The risks are real: she has never won fresh and is coming off a 127-day break, she has not won at 1300m and she settles a long way back. Still, on ability she is the one to beat.
Fit and in form, he won his maiden at this track last start and lands gate two, a significant plus given Kalgoorlie's strong inside draw. He maps to settle just off the speed and the stable is going well. The obvious knock is the step up from maiden grade into Class 2 and a lack of wins at 1300m, so he shapes as a place player rather than a standout.
Won here last start, charging home from well back, and the predicted fast tempo suits a horse who likes to be ridden cold. She draws inside and her stable has been going well. The concern is patchy form either side of that victory and no success at this trip, so she needs the leaders to overdo it.
The most consistent recent form in the race — she has been close up in her last few starts at Kalgoorlie without winning. The knock is obvious: one win from 27 starts and none at this track, plus a query at 1300m. Each-way value.

The class runner and a genuine Kalgoorlie specialist with eight wins from eighteen starts here, including two from three over this trip. Charged home to win his latest start and lands a handy gate. The queries are top weight, a step up in grade and the fact he does his best work on softer ground than this.
Mr Consistency at Kalgoorlie — five wins and a stack of seconds, seldom far away. Led and was run down narrowly over this course last time. Lightly weighted and on-pace, which suits a track that rewards handy runners, though he too often finds one better to trust with the win.
Won the key 1300m race here last start, running past Science Degree, and saluted again the start before. Strong on good ground. The concern is a tricky wide gate for a horse who prefers to settle off the speed, though he showed last time he can race closer.
Settles handy and hits the line.

Clear top pick. Won the key Coolgardie Cup lead-up here, producing the best race in the field and beating today's main danger in a tight finish. Improving five-year-old who settles just off the speed from a good draw and was a close third over 2213m earlier in the year, so the longer trip should suit. In-form stable.
Strong each-way hope and the main danger. A track specialist with a superb Kalgoorlie record and a fast-finishing second to the top pick in the Coolgardie Cup. Consistent placer whose best is good enough to win, but he tends to settle near the tail in a race the track pattern says is hard to win from behind, and a likely slow tempo may not play to his strength.
A winning mare with the best strike rate in the field, strong on good ground and lightly tried at this trip. Her last run in the Cup is forgivable after she raced wide throughout, and she maps to settle handy from a fair draw. The step to 2125m is the query, but her staying pedigree and record suggest she can get it.
One of the few runners in this field proven at a staying trip, having won over 2200m at Belmont two starts ago. He was outclassed stepping up last time but can improve back at a track he has now seen, and he is drawn to get an economical run.

Won his last start over this track and trip, sitting handy and finishing best of the on-pace group. On-pace style and inside barrier 4 are exactly what Kalgoorlie rewards, and three wins from ten here at 1400m is the strongest such profile in the race.
A fast tempo should suit her late surge. The concern is her get-back style from gate 12, and her latest run was plain, though she was crowded at a key stage.
Consistent mare in good form, with a win, a second and a fourth in her last three and the leading local jockey aboard, who rides her at a strong strike rate. She settles back and finishes hard, which the predicted fast tempo should suit. Her best form is over further, so 1400m is a query, but she races well here.
Front-runner who was only a length off third over 1600m here last start and drops back to his better trip, where he has won twice from six. Light weight and natural speed should keep him prominent.
